A book for someone who is depressed and burnt out but not about being depressed or burnt out

Hi everyone! I am hoping to get some recommendations for myself to cope with my current mental health state. I’m a clinician on a pediatric psych unit for neurodiverse patients and my job is really heavy all of the time. I have noticed that my depression has crept up on me a lot and I’m not reaching for my books as a hobby/coping strategy anymore. I would love some recs that will be so engaging that I WILL reach for them.

I love escapism and fantasy worlds but have found epics to be so emotionally volatile that I avoid reaching for them (I got through 100 pages of Game of Thrones). I hold the one of the most vulnerable populations in crisis, so abuse, trauma, sexual assault is just not something I can do in literature right now. I also love romance, but find the third act breakup to be predictable and frustrating. I like historical fiction when it’s not slow and dusty feeling to read. Sci-fi fascinates me but I worry that I won’t have the stamina to get through the world-building with how exhausted I am. I like literary fiction when there aren’t so many metaphors, similes, allegories, etc that aren’t accessible to someone trying to have a good time.

I have been stuck on Babel for 2 months and finished I Who Have Never Known Men after 6 weeks. Before that it took me 2 months to read My Brilliant Friend. I just feel very ‘meh’ about most of the options I have right now. Basically, I’m open to most genres! But the request is: please recommend me a book that you would have been able to want to read when nothing sounds good to you.
